Mel (Vic Tayback) gets word that the "wealthy crackpot" who built his diner has stashed $20,000 in the walls of another of his buildings. Not long afterward, the waitress find some cash behind the diner's wallpaper. Thus is launched a "gold rush" that would have put the San Francisco 49ers (the prospectors, not the football players) to shame. This episode was filmed for Alice's sixth season, but held back due to a Hollywood writer's strike.
